crash_reports: 2000000723

On 12/10/20 at approximately 13:23 myself along with other Police, Fire and Ambulance units, responded to the intersection of Chestnut St. and Elliot St. for a two vehicle crash. Upon arrival I spoke with the operator of veh#1 who stated she was driving on Elliot St. due West when she proceeded through the intersection and was struck on her passenger side by veh #2. The operators 2 young children were in back of her vehicle in child seats. Her son was behind the passenger and her daughter was behind her. Both front and side airbags were deployed in veh #1. All three people in the vehicle were taken to Newton-Wellesley Hospital to be checked out as a precaution. The operator stated she had pain in her right wrist. The operator of veh#2 stated he was traveling due South on Chestnut St. when he looked down as he approached the intersection. The operator stated he was prepared to take a right onto Elliot St. but when he looked up he had already entered the intersection and struck veh #1. The air bags went off in veh #2 as the operator had cuts on his left hand . He was checked out by the Medics and signed a patient refusal. The operator of veh #2 had left the scene after I initally spoke with him but while I was attending to the occupants of veh #1. Because of this I was unable to issue him a citation on scene. I mailed him Mass. Citation #T2080850 for Ch 89/ Sec 9 Failure to obey the Red Light. Both vehicles sustained heavy damage and were both towed by Bobby and David from Tody's towing.
